Kimmi Gibbs: My bf and I love sharing the breakfast egg sandwich (add tomato) and the yogurt with granola! Just enough food and it's so good!
Mingfei Yan: We came here for brunch- food is awesome. The wait is long though. Try the poached egg and yogurt. Yummy.
Cafe Pettirosso: Under new ownership and post-rebuild, we re-opened October 2012. Now featuring breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus and a full bar. Open 9 am through 2 am, Tuesday through Sunday.
Kaitlin Martineau: The honey lavender ice cream is to die for! Punch-you-in-the-face lavender flavor. Other favorites are Stumptown coffee, scout mint, and seasonal Sasquatch with granola and chocolate chunks
Nicholas Kolnik: The granola in the Sasquatch is a deft touch. 🍦
Foxxy B: The cookie dough is unique, heavy on the dessert spices (cinnamon). Very creamy & rich ice cream, with superb waffle cones. Not mind blowing but definitely some of the best in Seattle!
